KEMPER PROFILER Player - Featuring the Legacy of the PROFILER platform in the next incarnation

The KEMPER PROFILER Player is the latest and the by far the most complete collection of professional amp tones and studio-grade FX of any pedalboard in it's class. Requiring only the floorboard space of two standard distortion pedals the Profiler Player turns any pedal board into an arena grade touring rig. And, what’s more, the Player is an arena-grade touring rig that fits in every guitar bag. It offers the full arsenal of KEMPER amp tones Including the Amp section which sounds identical to the amp section of its famous Big Brothers - it loads any amp PROFILE from the vast library of existing free and commercial PROFILEs), selected FX settings, IR loading, and switching capabilities - at home, in the studio, in the rehearsal room, and on stage.

Four effect blocks elevate the Player to a professional stand-alone live solution.

The PROFILER Player offers a selection of some the finest effects in the world. As a company, KEMPER is also responsible for creating the ACCESS™ VIRUS™, one of the most successful synthesizers of all time. Nearly 25 years of experience.
Along with the standard effects, you will find algorithms rarely seen in a guitar processor - these include an authentic rotary speaker and studio-grade reverbs, offering amazing rooms, large halls, even lush, pad-like ambiences and many more.

The Player’s signal chain comprises 4 effect modules in addition to the amplifier stack. Up to two effects can be placed "pre" the amp stack, and another two "post" the amp. The post-amp modules of the effect chain are ideal for delay and reverb effects. Both delay and reverb offer "spillover"at any time, meaning the sonic tail is not cut off when you change to another Rig.
The Player offers a massive, well-curated selection of 136 different FX settings taken from the legendary KEMPER PROFILER FX arsenal that features over 444 FX presets in total.
